One of the terrorists who escaped from the Kuje Correctional Centre during the Boko Haram invasion, Hassan Hassan, has been recaptured in Nasarawa State.
Checks by REPORTERS AT LARGE showed that Hassan is number 12 on the list of terrorism suspects released by the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) on Friday.
Rahman Nansel, Police Public Relations Officer of Nasarawa Command, announced his arrest in a statement on Saturday.
“Sequel to the attack on Kuje Maximum Custodial Centre and subsequent escape of inmates, on July 9th, 2022, at about 0130hrs, one Hassan Hassan ‘M’, whose name and picture were amongst the escaped inmates with Boko Haram/Terrorism Case, was recaptured by the eagle-eyed police operatives of the Nasarawa State Police Command at Keffi.”
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Adesina Soyemi, has ordered the transfer of the suspect to a safer location while the intensive search for other escapees and the handing over process of the arrested inmate progresses. The Commissioner of Police, however, appreciated the efforts of the police operatives for a job well done and assured members of the public of the Command’s unrelenting efforts at making the public space safer for all.”
